FAQs
Who is EMDR for?
While it’s well-known for treating PTSD, EMDR is also highly effective for anxiety, grief, panic attacks, and emotional trauma of all kinds.
Is it really different from traditional therapy?
Yes. EMDR doesn’t rely on talk alone—it targets how the brain stores and processes traumatic memories, often yielding faster results.
How long does therapy take?
Every patient is different. Some find relief in a few sessions, while others may need longer to fully reprocess deeper trauma.
Do you work with veterans and first responders?
Absolutely. Essential Psychiatry is a preferred provider for the VA and specializes in care for those who’ve served on the front lines.
